RXA

As those who follow my Flickr feed (especially my 365days project) will know I have recently begun seeing someone.

Whilst you will get very little of out me about this person on this blog (to protect the innocent) there is one aspect I find especially fascinating for the effect it has had on me. Her house has no broadband.

Whilst normally the thought of this would cause me to go into anaphylactic shock, it has been quite an interesting sensation to spend time away from the tubes. I do spend a lot of time online, what with Flickr, Facebook, my various websites and email, so to spend seven or eight hours awake and not online is quite a new experience.

Of course it goes without saying that there is a dial-up connection for the mandatory uploading of self portraits and even when I suggested that I upload a recent shot the following day I was told quite emphatically that it was important to keep going as I was. So the photo in question was uploaded the same day as it was shot, like the 52 others before it.

Signing off now as I really should think about going to bed as it is midnight and I have a very busy weekend planned including a gig, dinner with friends of L and a trip to Melbourne with other friends.
